Provision of Grant Funding for Sheffield City Trust, Places Leisure to allow Leisure Facilities to re-open post CV-19.

To agree a package of funding support in order to begin a re-opening a number of leisure facilities operated by Sheffield City Trust (SCT) and Places Leisure (PL).

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the facilities ability to generate income and without additional funding from SCC it will not be possible for SCT or PL to open any leisure provision in the city. 

 

SCT and PL therefore require urgent funding, by way of grant and contract payment, respectively, to meet additional costs and lost revenue caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.
